Bab 87: An Uncrowned King

The Thunder Basilisk lost the match!

At this very moment, the once majestic creature had collapsed inside the pit in an extremely unpleasant way. Most of its scales had cracked up and blood came out from all over its body. It didn't move at all; it was probably unconscious.

Nobody made a sound because they couldn't accept the sight before their eyes. Their previous belief was that a seventh-rank Thunder Basilisk making a debut in the academy's tournament was illegitimate by itself, because it would squash all the other pets with ease. In the end, another pet had been against such an outcome. A Lightning Rat, who had recently lost a match against the basilisk, at that.

How in the world did the Thunder Basilisk lose after it just broke through to another rank?

The owners of the combating pets—Ye Hao and Su Yanying—were both left awestruck on the stage. The match ended too quickly and they didn't have nearly enough time to take in everything yet.
